BC High won a pair of third-set tiebreakers Thursday to eliminate Brookline, 4-1, in the Division 1 South Sectional boys tennis semifinals at Weymouth Club.

Jeremy Mendoza pulled out a 6-3, 4-6, 7-6 (7-5) victory at first singles for the Eagles, and the No. 1 doubles team of Charles Morris and Bailey Ward (Kingston) clinched the match with a 6-2, 3-6, 7-6 (7-5) win.

“It was closer than the 4-1 score,” coach Lance Hutchinson said. “It could have gone either way.”

No. 2 BC High (18-1) will have a chance to avenge its lone loss of the season Friday when it plays No. 1 Barnstable (20-0) in the South final (2:30 p.m., Old Rochester Regional High).

BC High, the defending Div. 2 state champion, beat Barnstable, 3-2, in the South semifinals last year. Barnstable won by the same score a few weeks ago.

Against No. 6 Brookline (13-4), Caye Tittmann won, 6-1, 6-2, at second singles for the Eagles, and Justin McGaffigan (Braintree) teamed with Pablo Ferreyra for a 6-2, 6-4 victory at No. 2 doubles.
